About this study

Official title: A Phase II/III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Weekly and Every Other Week Dosing Regimens of Iduronate-2-Sulfatase Enzyme Replacement Therapy in Patients With MPS II

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the administration of iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme in a weekly or every other week therapy frequency is safe and efficacious in patients with MPS II.

Read the detailed description

MPS II is a rare, X-linked, lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase. Because of this deficiency, glycosaminoglycans (GAG) accumulate in multiple tissues and organs, resulting in progressive cellular and organ system dysfunction. The purpose of this study is to determine if one year of therapy with iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme replacement therapy, at a dose of 0.5mg/kg, weekly or every other week, is safe, and results in clinically meaningful improvement in multiple organ function, compared with a placebo group. Upon completion of the study, patients will be eligible to enroll in an open-label maintenance study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Ranked Adjusted 2-Component Composite Variable Score Based on Change From Baseline to Week 53

    The 2-component composite variable consists of the sum of the ranked changes from baseline to Week 53 for percent predicted Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and 6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT) total distance walked. For the 2 treatment groups being compared, ranking occurred within the comparison treatment groups combined (idursulfase weekly and placebo treatment groups). These comparison groups were pooled and ranked for each component separately. Within each component (% predicted FVC, 6MWT), the change from baseline was then ranked. The lowest change value was assigned a rank of 1, the next lowest a rank of 2, etc. The composite score for each participant was the sum of the 2 ranked scores corresponding to the 2 individual components (% predicted FVC and 6MWT) for each participant. Thus, the greater the composite score (greater the sum of the ranks of the changes from baseline, where the lowest change was ranked as 1), the greater the improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 53

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Global Joint Range of Motion (JROM) Score at Week 53

    Change was calculated at Week 53 from baseline. Global JROM (% of normal range of motion) is the average of 11 ratios multiplied by 100. Ratios are Left/Right means of passive range of motion in Shoulder (Flexion/Extension, Abduction, Internal/External Rotation), Elbow (Flexion/Extension), Wrist (Flexion/Extension), Index Finger (Flexion/Extension [Combined Metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP), Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP), Distal interphalangeal joint (DIP) motion]), Hip (Flexion/Extension, Abduction, Internal/External Rotation), Knee (Flexion/Extension), and Ankle (Dorsiflexion) divided by the normal range (American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and American Medical Association).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 53

  2. Mean Combined Liver and Spleen Volume at Baseline

    Liver and Spleen volume was determined by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Combined Liver and Spleen Volume at Week 53

    Liver and Spleen volume was determined by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Change was calculated at Week 53 from baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 53

  4. Change From Baseline in Mean Normalized Urine Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) Levels at Week 53

    Mean normalized urine GAG was analyzed using urine testing. Change was calculated at Week 53 from baseline. The urine GAG levels were normalized to urine creatinine and were reported as microgram GAG per milligram creatinine (mcg GAG/mg creatinine).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 53

  5. Mean Cardiac Left Ventricular Mass Index (LVMI) at Baseline

    Cardiac LVMI was determined by echocardiography. LVMI is the left ventricular mass (LVM, in grams [g]) indexed to body surface area (BSA), in square meter [m^2]. LVMI (in gram per square meter [g/m^2]) = LVM divided by BSA.

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Cardiac Left Ventricular Mass Index (LVMI) at Week 53

    Cardiac LVMI was determined by echocardiography. Change was calculated at Week 53 from baseline. LVMI is the LVM, in grams indexed to BSA, in square meter [m^2]. LVMI in g/m^2 = LVM divided by BSA.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 53

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme replacement therapy in people with Mucopolysaccharidosis II, run by Shire at 9 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 May 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ranked Adjusted 2-Component Composite Variable Score Based on Change From Baseline to Week 53 (time frame: Baseline, Week 53). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00069641, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jun 2021.
